Thanks to everyone who participated in our first quiz. I was not expecting nearly 40 voters. Good to see though. The most popular vote, by a large but not statistically significant (yes, I'm that much of a geek that I tested it) number, is "Only very few are welcome". In hindsight, this response option is not a very good one because it could either mean only a small number of people are allowed in the kitchen to help or only a select small group of people are allowed in the kitchen. I'll take it to mean the latter, that's how I intended it.

I've been wanting to make these blueberry muffins for a while. Randi's blueberry muffin recipe is really quick and easy to follow. The muffins are great! Here is another recipe too.

Preheat oven to 350F. Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add sugar and combine. Whisk sour cream, eggs, lemon rind, and oil together in a bowl. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the blueberries. To make muffins: fill a dozen 1/2 cup muffin tins about 2/3 full and bake for 25-30 minutes or until your toothpick comes out clean.

They are not very sweet. They're nice and light.

Have a happy Easter everyone! I expect that large amounts of food will be created in our households this weekend. I'm sure we'll blog all about it.

hey there - just saw this reference! Thanks for the spotlight :) So glad you liked them... You should try out the orange-strawberry muffins on our site as well, if you're into muffins, those are some of my favorites. The cookies are super cute. Have a great easter!

These look delicious!! I swear, I wish I could bake. Every time I see I see sweet things, I wish I was not only a better baker, but also wish I had an extra stomach to eat more! There's always too much left over for only 2 people! happy easter...

Those muffins look really good! I was one of the people that picked "Only very few are welcome" and by that I meant that there are only some people that I'm okay sharing a kitchen with, and I'm never okay with having lots of people in the kitchen! Unless it was some kind of special event I guess.

Since we refer to family members, here's a key to clarify who's who

R - Psychgrad's hubby. Is the cook responsible for many of the recipes but usually does not post himself (unless it is to complain about our food obsession or share a dish that he loves -- usually poutine).

E- Practicing her skills as ruler of the world (or her little brother, K).

K - Cool little bro -- biding his time until he's big enough to take down E.
